Get Prepared for Microsoft Azure Solutions Certifications

In his recent blog post, Keith Mayer shared a comprehensive early study guide for the 70-534 Architecting Microsoft Azure Solutions exam. Since these Azure certifications are considerably new, it’s harder to find study guides and Keith did an excellent job to put all these resources together in a checklist format. You can access the Keith Mayer’s blog post here.

If you are preparing for 70-533 Implementing Microsoft Azure Infrastructure Solutions exam, make sure to take a look at Azure IaaS for IT Pros page on Microsoft Virtual Academy. Josh Condie covered this in a detailed post on our TS2 blog.

There is also 70-532 Developing Microsoft Azure Solutions exam and I have included the preparation resources below, under “About 70-532 Exam section”.

Once you pass one of these exams, you will be earning “Microsoft Specialist” certification for Azure.

Good luck with your exam!
